Question of the Day - Tuesday, September 26

[cassiopea]

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday!






What is one thing you didn't think you would like until you tried it?





Fresh oysters and lemon. I already wasn't a big fan of oysters, but once I added the lemon juice....oh my goodness! Game changer, now I love it

Uttapam, once I tried it I not only loved it but it's become one of my absolute favorite foods.

Chow mein.

Avacado. I tried it years ago and hated it. I don't think it was ripe but I didn't know any better.
Only recently I bought a "Ripe and ready to eat" one. I still wasn't keen until someone suggested to simply put salt and pepper on it. It transformed it and now I love em.

Cranberries, the dried kind like raisins. I never tried one until a friend made cookies with cranberries. This friend made gooood cookies, so I ate one and it was yummy. I don't go out of my way, but if they are in trail mix, I'll eat them instead of removing them.

anchovies

When I was in high school I got a job working in a family restaurant (Italian). One of the salads they served was a Ceasar Salad, which came with two anchovies on top of it. One day, I served a salad to a customer and few minutes later, he called me over and said something like "what are those." I told him anchovies, and he asked me to please remove them. I thought it was funny he didn't just remove them himself, but at least he didn't as me to make a new salad. That was a long time ago, funny I still remember it.

Same here. I didn't like them for years but then tried them again--I can't even remember how they were served that time but I liked them, eat them all the time now.

Chinese food in general. I hate pineapple and had the mistaken idea that everything Chinese had sweet and sour sauce on it, but there's so many other things that are delicious!

I'm kinda liking bread & butter pickles lately! I thought they were too sweet, but I tried them again & I like them now.

About a decade ago, I went to a renaissance festival and they were selling pickles. I decided to get one and I became obsessed. I think I bought 5 more that day. I realized, I love pickles, but ONLY if they are the refrigerator ones. Shelf stable are horrible in my opinion.

 

[maggiedemi]

Huh. I'll have to try to find some refrigerated pickles. Didn't know they were different than the shelf stable ones!

Pasteles. I’m almost always willing to try new foods so I didn’t say no the first time I was offered one at my step-grandparents. I wasn’t impressed. But then someone said to add ketchup. That made all the difference for me. My aunt says it’s ok because that’s how she likes them too.

And now I want one! They are really labor intensive from what I know though. No pasteles for me.

 

[allmykitties]

Asparagus. For a long time, I saw it as a carrier for hollandaise. But on my current diet, it is a frequent vegetable, and I've found that I do like the taste of it.
